I think they are using the statistics about how many people drive less
than that on most days.
If you drive a lot, you need enough fuel on board to have reasonable
range.
For someone like me who is retired and makes short trips most of the
time I pretty much would need 2 cars. One for around town and one for
road trips.

Replacing one car with two doesn't sound all that good for the
enviroment or economical either.
